Amino Acids Influencing Intestinal Development and Health of the Piglets

Animals, 2019
The amino acids and other components of diet provide nourishment for piglet intestinal development and maturation. However, early-weaned piglets struggle with tremendous stress, impairing normal intestinal health and leading to intestinal dysfunction and

Weaning stress and intestinal health of piglets: A review

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Weaning is considered to be one of the most critical periods in pig production, which is related to the economic benefits of pig farms. However, in actual production, many piglets are often subjected to weaning stress due to the sudden separation from the sow, the changes in diet and living environment, and other social challenges. Weaning stress often

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Fecal Virome Transplantation in Human Disease and Livestock Production: Evidence, Mechanisms, and Translational Challenges

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Fecal virome transplantation may reshape bacterial communities and host responses while reducing viable bacterial transfer. Preclinical evidence suggests biological activity, but human efficacy remains uncertain, and translation requires product standardization, causal validation, donor–recipient matching, and rigorous biosafety assessment.
